Life Transitions

High school or college graduation
Graduating from high school or college marks a momentous occasion, yet can likewise be a surprisingly stressful period. As tests and projects wrap up, the pressure of transitioning to another phase of life intensifies. It's typical for students who are graduating to feel concerned about meeting society’s expectations—finding employment that is both lucrative enough to support them and coincides with their dreams and aspirations. We're here for you! Let us help make this transition easier on you so you don't have to go through it alone.
Ending a relationship
Divorce and break-ups can be emotionally taxing as it often results in feelings of loss. Many individuals feel overwhelmed by the range of emotions such as sadness, anger, regret, and guilt that come with this transition. Remember: you are not alone! Even if the situation may seem daunting now, there is always hope for healing and recovery afterward.
Moving
Relocating can be incredibly overwhelming and stressful. Saying farewell to familiar faces, packing up your things, and learning to become acclimated in a new environment are all daunting tasks that come along with the process of moving. It's common for individuals to experience high levels of stress during this transition, which may result in mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. However, you don't have to go through this alone - we're here for you!
Embracing your sexual or gender identity
Navigating one's sexual or gender identity can be a daunting journey for many people, resulting in feelings of anxiousness, fearfulness, and bewilderment. In some cases, this stress may take its toll on someone’s mental health such as depression and difficulty managing levels of pressure. Oftentimes the main reason behind these emotions is the concern of being judged by their peers, family members, and society at large. Allow us to join you on your passage toward self-discovery - we are here to support you every step along the way!
Becoming a parent or guardian
Becoming a parent or guardian is an incredibly rewarding journey, yet can also be extremely overwhelming. When the news of expecting arrives or guardianship begins, it's common to experience higher levels of stress given all the fresh responsibilities and expectations that come with parenthood. Expectant parents and guardians may find themselves struggling to adapt and provide for their new life. However, we don't have to do this alone! With support from one another, we can get through these changes together!
Transitions may be nerve-racking, yet some commonalities exist with the majority of life changes. To effectively adjust to a new identity, we must learn to appreciate our fresh chapter while still honoring what was left behind. The objective is for us to feel self-possessed and in command of our novel circumstances, all the while discovering ways that permit us to accept how things were before.
